About this program

A two-year, 48 credit point postgraduate degree in Building Information Modelling and digital construction management, taught on campus at the Bruce campus. The structure runs from an introduction to BIM and BIM technology through procurement, project management and research methods to a 12 credit point professional thesis, with graduate certificate and graduate diploma exit points along the way. Students use the University of Canberra BIM Hub, which has VR and AR facilities, 3D laser scanners and industry modelling software. Entry normally requires an undergraduate qualification in architecture, construction, engineering or a related field, with recognition of prior learning available for applicants with several years of relevant work experience. Graduates work as BIM managers and coordinators, digital engineers, project managers and design managers across architecture, construction and infrastructure. It suits built-environment professionals moving into the coordination and data side of projects.

Admissions

Completed tertiary undergraduate qualification in a relevant discipline (architecture, built environment, building and construction engineering and management, project management and civil engineering disciplines), as approved by the University. . The University of Canberra is a strong supporter of lifelong education and recognises that not everyone comes into university through traditional pathways. For example, we know that often people with significant industry experience are excellent students who gain a lot from completing our courses. . If you do not hold a Bachelor degree in a relevant discipline, we may consider your previous related work experience through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). RPL enables admissions based on learning derived from work experience or a combination of qualification and work experience. The amount of work experience required will depend on your previous qualifications, ranging from 4 years (for example, if you have a TAFE advanced diploma) to 10 years if your highest qualification is a Year 12 certificate. . In general, the following documentation is required as part of the RPL assessment. Please contact FAD.Student@canberra.edu.au if you'd like to speak to someone about your eligibility. - an employer's letter validating work experience . - examples of work, training certificates and course outlines . - documented professional qualifications.
